Today, I bought a SEGA Game Gear with Sonic 2, NHL 2K2 for Dreamcast, and Body Harvest for N64. The Game Gear was a decent price and an important piece of my childhood; it was the first mildly popular (albeit relatively expensive) colour portable. Seemingly unattainable some 15 years ago, it was nice to pick one up for a song today. NHL 2K2 was the last hockey title on the Dreamcast, and is easily one of the better hockey games of the DC/PS2/XBOX/GC generation. Body Harvest is a game that was developed by DMA Design around the same time as another popular DMA Design game titled Grand Theft Auto. What's interesting is that Body Harvest, while focusing on time travel and alien invasion, shares a lot of gameplay design cues with the GTA series, but does so in 3D some three years before GTA went 3D on the PS2.
I just thought it interesting that I picked-up three bits of video gaming history today :)
